50 Unique Date Ideas

Love is in the air, and whether you are planning for a first date or you’ve been married for years, don’t make it a boring date! There are many unique dates ideas you can do that aren’t that expensive that will help you learn more about the person you’re taking out even if you’ve been together awhile. You won’t find your basic dinner and movie date listed here (because who can really get to know someone while remaining quiet in a movie), but you will find other fun things that will make an impression on your date.

50 Unique Date Ideas

1.) Have a picnic! Dates don’t have to be reserved for night and a simple, old-fashioned picnic is much more thought-out than a restaurant.

2.) Go to a museum and take the full tour.

3.) Take a ride on a hot air balloon!

4.) Take a hike- and bring your date along!

5.) Visit a pet store. If you are an animal lover, see if your date is, too, by taking them to a pet store.

6.) Take an art class. Remember ‘Ghost’? Yeah, pottery and painting classes are still that hot.

7.) Visit the zoo… seriously! It’s fun!

8.) Meet for breakfast instead of dinner- then you have the whole day to plan together.

9.) Go dancing, even if you both are bad at it. It’s not so bad to look like fools together.

10.) Meet up at the beach for some relaxing time in the sun together. It’s casual but still lots of fun!

11.) Go to a convention of a like-minded hobby or interest.

12.) Volunteer! You give back together and learn more about one another.

13.) Go skating, even if you aren’t good at it. It’s a great way to remember your junior high school days and laugh if you both fall.

14.) Go bowling and invite a group of people to make the date less awkward, especially if it is a blind date.

15.) Play some putt-putt mini golf and wager on the loser buying ice cream afterward.

16.) Make pizza at home in either your home or your date’s place. It’s a comfortable place and an easy meal to prepare.

17.) Go for a nighttime stroll and out for ice cream or frozen yogurt. It isn’t formal, but it will let you both know if you want a second date or not.

18.) Hit the gym and sweat it out as you talk it out.

19.) Take some time to go around town and shoot photos of interesting sites you see. This will help you both learn more about each other and the place in which you live.

20.) Try restaurants that are local, out of the way, and not crowded and spend more than an hour there sampling different things from the menu and actually taking time to eat them, not inhale them.

21.) Go pick a bouquet of wildflowers. While you’re out picking flowers you can talk to one another in a way you can’t at a movie, and when the date is done give your date the flowers you picked. How romantic!
